Unless we get figures with exclusive printing, it will probably be while before we see any set based around the Seven Potter's. After all most of the figures have or are being released. It's why I'm personally glad that they didn't do Privet drive centered around Order of the Phoenix

Cheers It's on Lego S@H - June 1st, £13.49

Hagrid on Sirius’ bike is definitely not out of the question. The topic came up in yesterday’s Q&A with Marcos Bessa, the lead designer for the new LEGO Harry Potter series, and he said he is hoping they can nail the design for a bike that works with the Hagrid minifig soon. Right now, Marcos said Hagrid’s arms open a bit too wide when he raises them up for the standard motorcycle design. So it sounds like they’ve already started playing around with new designs and how to work out the flaws. I can totally see us getting a set with Hagrid and Harry in the side car being pursued by a death eater and Voldemort minifigs with the smoky black Dementor leg pieces next year. Probably no Hedwig in that set though ?

Yeah, I mentioned earlier that it was on a designer’s Q&A but I couldn’t remember his name (thank you for reminding me, lmao) I think there are more important characters needed in a set like that than Voldemort and a Death Eater, like we definitely need a plain clothes Bill Weasley (mention plain clothes because a wedding set is possible) and Mundungus (unless we’re getting Grimmauld Place in which he could come)

Dursley’s in CMF replacing Tonks and Kingsley (and someone else for Dudley) and tbh, whilst I agree they might not be as highly detailed, I don’t necessarily think they need to be that detail, sure Kingsley needs a new hat, but aside from that they could definitely do them in a set ?

I think they would be, if it came with characters that are more desirable than the Dursleys, the thing is, whilst Lego is aimed at kids, the fans that really matter (the people that were kids when HP first came out) are adults now and they would definitely go for sets that that A) great display pieces and B) feature characters that are wanted, and Moody (without Crouch Jr), Mundungus, Bill and updated twins are definitely more desirable than the Dursleys
